delicious little cook

Chapter 491 The poor man

Although he really wanted to strike with the reason that he suffered a huge mental blow, after struggling for a while, Bai Kou got up obediently and went to work. The sage has made his words so clear. As an official and servant, you must be self-aware, and you must be honest and responsible. right way.

Bai Kou cooked breakfast for the young masters in the camp and rushed to the competition camp. The ingredients were delivered early in the morning, without a break, and they had to be processed quickly to make it to lunch time.

The types of ingredients are almost the same as yesterday, except that the vegetables have changed some patterns. After all, the types of meat are the same, no matter how you change them, you can’t change new patterns. Only the chef’s skills can make the same ingredients into different dishes. .

After figuring out today's menu, Bai Kou went back to the tent to write a new notice, painted it with paste and pasted it on the notice board outside, and announced today's menu to the public. The rest of the meal rules were the same as yesterday.

Bai Kou's new announcement was quickly spread in the camp where people were coming and going, and at the same time, the other seven opponents also took out their notice boards, writing their menu of the day.

Bai Kou stole the limelight yesterday, these opponents were all suffocating in their hearts to save face, and the dishes they cooked were also picked by the little father-in-law to present to the saint for tasting, but Bai Kou was the only one who was called to serve tea , although something unexpected happened afterwards, this honor cannot be erased. If they don't think of a way, they are really defeated by a little girl. These experienced old cooks, what face do they have in front of their master? Show your face and hang out in the circle.

Gu Yun and the others were not idle either. Except for those who had missions, everyone else ran into the forest to hunt foxes. For their common business, they had to catch as many foxes as possible for breeding.

The two little father-in-laws who supervised came as usual, and watched the whole process with their hands in their sleeves. Before the lunch started, the little father-in-law who came to get the dishes no longer took three servings of a plate, but took them accurately and without any consideration. Three plates of different dishes were packed into a food box and left together.

Today's menu posted in the morning came in handy.

After the lunch officially started, all the seats were still filled by the female relatives who came to join in the show, and there were still maids queuing up for the masters outside in the cold wind. The final number of people received was about the same as yesterday. The proportion of people who walked over to eat, Bai Kou estimated that the number of female customers in the past few days of the competition would fluctuate around this number.

Leaving the girls to clean up the aftermath, Bai Kou went back to the small camp for an afternoon nap. The young masters were not there, and he didn't know where to eat at noon. rest.

Unexpectedly, after sleeping soundly, Bai Kou was hastily woken up by Mei Huan.

"Wake up, wake up, wake up, someone from the dragon tent will announce you to serve tea in the tent."

"what?!"

Bai Kou hurriedly sat up to get dressed, while slandering the saint, what's wrong with the saint who made such a big fuss yesterday and felt it wasn't satisfying enough to continue today?
Waiting outside was still the little father-in-law who came to call yesterday, and the two got into the car and went to the imperial camp immediately.

After getting off the car, the maid outside the dragon tent first took Bai Kou to wash her hands, and told her that the sage had already woken up and was waiting for her to serve tea.

Bai Kou dried her hands, stabilized her emotions, and walked into the dragon tent calmly.

The sage was already sitting on his throne, with Eunuch Xi standing beside him, and besides Bai Kou himself, there was no fourth person present.

Drinking a cup of tea quietly after a nap has been a habit for decades.

Bai Kou recited these words silently in her heart, first stepped forward to salute, then walked to the tea table and started to boil water.

The tea service went much smoother this time, the sage didn't recall the past anymore, he just drank three cups of tea comfortably, and with a gesture from his father-in-law, Bai Kou immediately left and went to the competition place for her afternoon snack.

The tent was still full of people early on, and the news that Bai Kou was called to serve tea in the Dragon Tent had spread throughout the winter hunting camp during the three cups of tea. No one knew what the sage was thinking, Bai Kou I was so confused that I couldn't grasp the point.

Gu Yun and the others missed today's refreshment by hunting foxes. When they came back to the small camp with their prey, washed and changed their clothes, it was already dinner time. Fortunately, the men who were waiting for the meal gave Gu Yun face and didn't occupy their seats. Otherwise, they have to drink the Mistral wind around the campfire first.

Gu Yun already knew about Bai Kou being called to serve tea again. Like everyone else, he didn't know what the sage meant, but the crown prince didn't come today, so he couldn't understand his point of view, so he could only keep the question in his heart and watch quietly. It changes.

After dinner, all the guests who came to eat had left, and the handymen came over to help with work just like yesterday, Bai Kou went back to the small camp to rest first, and was stopped by Gu Yun when he passed outside the tent.

"The second watch is over, son, you haven't rested yet?"

"You know why I haven't rested yet." Gu Yun glared at her, "Everything went well today?"

Bai Kou shrugged, "Of course it went well, otherwise wouldn't the whole big camp already know about it?"

"What didn't you talk about?"

"I talked about everything I could talk about yesterday, and today I just drank a few cups of tea quietly."

"What about tomorrow? Do you want to serve tea tomorrow?"

"I don't know, no one ever said that."

"If you go to serve tea every day in Dongshou these days, there will be new gossip between the government and the public and the market."

"I hope those idlers can have some new vocabulary, I'm tired of hearing the same old routine over and over again."

"You're getting skinnier."

"Life is already boring, why don't people add some seasonings?"

"As an official and servant, I want to be a free man. I can use this to fix you at any time."

Bai Kou stretched out her head with a smile on her face, "Do you want to wash your neck and wait for you?"

"Don't do this, believe it or not, I will clean you up when I return to the capital?" Gu Yun stretched out his hand and flicked Bai Kou's head several times, "Go back to sleep, be good these few days, you serve tea for two consecutive days, the whole I don’t know how many pairs of eyes are staring at you in the big camp, don’t cause trouble for me.”

"Oh, good night, son." Bai Kou stroked his head and walked away swaggeringly.

Looking at Bai Kou's current attitude and behavior, Gu Yun deeply felt a sense of powerlessness that could not be controlled.

The surrounding tents moved slightly, and the boys lifted the curtains and walked towards Gu Yun. Gu Yun relayed what the saint said to Bai Kou yesterday, and now everyone is a little worried about Bai Kou's situation.

When the hope of life that they strive for is shattered, no matter how good a person is, they may give up on themselves because of excessive depression, and thus become a useless person who lives a life.

"What about Bai Kou?"

"do not know."

"Let's finish these few days first, and then go back to the capital and think of a way."

"Although there is no unparalleled road, this road is really narrow."

"No way, the price is heavy. Tens of thousands of our soldiers died abroad. Someone must be responsible for this."

"Tsk, it's so pitiful."

"Who is poor?"

"It's all pitiful. The women and children of the Bai family are pitiful, the soldiers who died in foreign lands are pitiful, and the orphans and family members are also pitiful. No one benefits from this matter."

"Yeah, they're all poor people." Gu Yun sighed, and looked up at his brothers, "Go to bed early, we'll continue hunting foxes tomorrow."

Everyone laughed lightly, wished each other good night, and dispersed one after another.
